The traditionally staid and sober Ramblers Association have defied convention and eschewed a wooly bearded male as its figure head and chosen the popular TV presenter Julia Bradbury as its new President. Chief Executive Tom Franklin declared, " In the Ramblers 75th year, our mission is to revamp walking and restore it to its proper place at the heart of everyday life, leisure and transport – no matter who you are! We want to break down the barriers to walking, whether it’s blocked paths or lack of motivation. There is no better expert at this than Julia Bradbury.”
Julia herself comments....“My ambition with the Ramblers over the coming year is simple: get Britain on its feet. The country is stuffed with beautiful walks and a 130,000 mile footpath network – I want everyone to get out there and enjoy it!......Walking is for everyone; young, old, families, partners and mates can all enjoy a good walk around the hills. Get out there for an urban walk, a hike across the fells or just walk the dog!"
Julia's TV CV includes fronting Countryfile; Wainwright’s Walks; Around the World in 80 Days; Climb Britain and Watchdog.
She was recently voted No 1 Walking Celebrity of the year by the Ramblers Walk Magazine readers, sealing her position as one of the most trusted and popular walking experts in the country.
